1321915 2013-01-08 03:45:00 I am assembling a video that consists of still images + video + voice overs. In one of the voice overs, the narrator's voice drops away at the end. I would prefer not to have to re-record the voice, so does anyone know of tools that can take an audio file and selectively up the volume on it?

The price has to be right (i.e.free or donationware).

1321916 2013-01-08 04:23:00 You could re-record the audio file using something like Free Sound Recorder www.freesoundrecorder.net and you could increase the recording volume where it gets lower so as to get a balance. There is a visual level indicator that would help in getting a level output. Terry Porritt (14)
1321917 2013-01-08 05:50:00 Audacity is capable of that, free as well.

The third post here will point you towards the solution.

1321919 2013-01-08 09:01:00 OK, I found Audacity. I've only given it a brief look, but I can't yet see how you select a bit of the sound track and beef it up - obviously more study needed. I'll check out the forum post KD - thanks. Tony (4941)
